As long as we're doing sweeping generalizations: Perhaps white Christian nationalist conservatives just can't stand it that so many people reject what they (the WCNCs) claim to believe is Divine Will.

The opposition to wokeness is far broader than “white Christian national conservatives.” Heck, the Republican Party alone is far broader than that. Most people don’t want their kids learning victimhood mentality in school, they don’t want the founding fathers redefined as slavers, they don’t think “the constitution is racist,” are fine distinguishing between men and women and having gender roles, don’t like retooling the language around small gender minorities (“Latinx,” etc.) My Biden voting dad hates the term “person of color” and my Biden voting mom is sending me articles complaining about schools dropping admissions tests.

Heck, most people (60%) don’t even think we should give racial minorities special consideration in college admissions and hiring! That seems like the absolute floor for “woke” people, and I think it’s fair to say even many people who accept affirmative action aren’t “woke.”

What you're presenting is the Fox News version of "wokeness." Here's an alternative, from former Republican congressman Joe Walsh: "Being woke just means being empathetic. And tolerant. And willing to listen. And open to learning."

And here’s another alternative, from the African-American Marxist Adolph Reed, according to whom “woke” is a form of “irrationalist race reductionism”: https://newrepublic.com/article/160305/beyond-great-awokenin...

Not Fox News, but a long way away from Joe Walsh too

That article refers to 8% of the population as "progressive activists," but of course most people who believe in progressive ideals are not activists, so attempting to imply that 98% of the population is conservative and anti-woke is disingenuous at best.

In the context of the posted article, even objecting to the presence of racist and offensive speech counts as "woke." Any positive representation of non-white, non-Christian and non-heteronormative demographics in the media beyond minimal tokenism, and certainly outside of the conservative narrative, is considered "woke."

Most Americans tend to identify as "socially progressive and financially conservative."
